Salt for Poultry and Hogs.

new England
It has long been a supposition that salt will
kill hens. This is nothing but old ladys
within, and it is being found out to be such more
and more every day. The only way I can i'm
agne in which hens be injured by eating
salt is perhaps where it has been Kept from them
for long time and when given any they eat too
much on account of their craving for it. If the
fowls have not been accustomed to have it they
should be fed moderately at first with small guam
ties After that supply should be kept before
them always. They need salt just much as
stock and any deprivation of it will result in Ill
health and loss of appetite.
Practical and successful men claim that a
constant supply of salt for swine is safe pre-
ventive of diseases, one that can be counted on
with degree of certainty; that, by its constant
the system is made strong to ward off dis
ease When the farmer has wood ashes and
charcoal at hand it is great advantage TO mix
the salt with them. When the salt is given at
regular intervals it prevents them getting a
mouthful of salt at once, and more, they relish
this mixture very much. Nature demands
something of this kind to absorb the gases in
the stomach and give tone and vigor to the
system.

The Teaching of Farming.
Chicago Herald.


The agriculture of to-day is not based on man
ual labor alone. The education of the mental
faculties as we'll as the training of the hand to
work skillfully, is recognized essential In
fitting for the life-worS of the farm Upon
these intelligence and labor ombned, rest the
hope of progress in agriculture. And yet 1T may
be questioned if farmers fully appreciate the
value to their children of home training and
education in the work and in the business OF the
farm. Each year there go out from the
farms young men ana women 10

daughters of farmers ought, with their oppor-
tunities, to bel We fear there is yet too much
of Indifference in parents in teaching the chill
dren the business of farming, not only q
trade, but as a profession. It ought to be kept
constantly in view that the training and educa-
ton needed by the farmer can largely be learned
at home and that the practical knowledge thus
gained will be of inestimable value-so much
capital with which to begin the business OF farm

Garden Crops in Dry Weather.

Philadelphia Record.
If the farmer or gardeter could cause rain to
fall at certain periods, or prevent long contln-
ued drenchngs at times when moisture is not
desirable. the result would be larger CROPS. less
labor and absolute certainty of success; ous
as this is as yet not possible, other metnoos

must be practiced, which entails great expense.
while on some farms the conditions are uniav-
orable compelling the farmer to take his chances
of rain drought. With garden. however,
large crops be proportionately grown. and
vegetables. if proper preparations be made
when planting the seed. 1t may De OF
interest to give the result of some experiments
made by New Jersey gardener this season,
which up to the present time promise to be very
successful He procures old soap boxes, flour
barrels, kegs, anything that will hold earth
or manure. and if the boxes or barrels be some
what rickety. so much the better. In planting
melons, cucumbers. tomatoes squashes or lima
beans he places box on the middle of the bill,
which should be six feet across, fills it half full
of fresh manure. and over the manure a half
peck of mixture of wood ashes and super
phosphate is placed The seeds of the melons
planted around the box, four plants being
allowed to the hill, the distance OF the
seeds from the box being about two
feet, as too close contact with the box is not de-
desirable. When the young plants up soap
suds are poured the contents of the box. In
a few weeks the roots of the plants will have
reached the box and they are then freely and
literally supplied with all the moisture and
LIQUID manure they may need, as wateris poured
in the box as often may be desired. In dry
weather bucket of water in the box causes the
matter in the manure to leach out, and it soaks
in the ground around the box, where the plants
appropriate it. In comparison with plants not
so treated the difference Is very marked, and q
half dozen hills with boxes will give better re-
suits than three times that number without
them. The expense is very small, and the
method is worthy trial. as moisture can al
ways be provided as wanted.

British War ships for Canadian Use.

OTTAWA. Aug. 9.-The Free Press, tonight,
has the following: ION inquiry at the fisheries
department., this afternoon, it ascertaned
that there some grounds for the statements
telegraphed from Halifax Sunday. to the
effect that some British vessels will assist
in the work of protecting the gulf and Atlantic
coast fisheries from American poachers. Some
confidential communications in reference to the
matter have been received here from the ad-
mralty authorities. 1t is understood that her
Majesty's war-ships will not only act as patrols
for the purpose of keeping Americans outside of
forbidden waters but will be prepared to make
seizures whenever and wherever opportunity
offers. There are three war ships available for
the service-Admiral Lyons flagship. the Belle
rophon, the Canada and the Pylades These
vessels are in Halifax harbor. The present
intention. though a change in programme is pos
sible, is to send out the ships early next week.
They will proceed at once to the Gulf OF Sk
